well, yeah, we'd all rather have easy goings every day, and never a dark cloud. but the nfl with roger goodell seems to have gotten pretty serious about things-he's been very straightforward about what he won't tolerate, and has been very rigid with the rules. and i think that's what we need here. but it takes time to get to that point, and racing isn't there yet.
and yeah, seems too often bad apples keep showing up-but look at pacman jones for example-he has been trying how long now to get back on the field? does football really need him? probably not. but in a way, it's like nascar-some people watch to see the wreck, not the racing.
when i read not long ago that steve asmussen would one day be in the HOF, i was sickened and disgusted by that. if they can't put him out, that's one thing-but for him to be rewarded for his shady career...that's just crazy.
i guess more than anything, i don't understand the mind set of owners who turn a blind eye-like jess jackson who is
SO interested in things being open and honest(
), yet he chooses SA to train curlin. hypocrisy in action. these
aren't horse racing fans who want to own, they're people who just want to win, regardless of how they get to the winners circle.
